Ugh, I would so pull the trigger on this but a). I think I want to go 60" and b). I really want to see what the 2013s look like. It sucks that I want a TV now, but we're SO CLOSE to the newer models.

Either way, this a great TV and a great deal.

Man I'm right there with you. I believe the 2013's come with 3D glasses too so even more reason to wait... Unfortunately for the 55 inch 2013 I'm guessing starting price at $700+ this at minimum. I too want 60" minimum but for a 2012 VT series... This is going to take some pondering for the next few hours

I just picked up the GT model equivalent and I cannot believe the 2013s are going to have a better picture. I have read that the smart TV functions are better but that isn't a big deal. I picked up 4 pair of glasses for $19 a piece on Amazon. The 2013s will just cost more.

Yeah just looked at the VT50 starting price on Amazon, it was $2,500. Me thinks I'll be going 60" ST60 but this I THINK will still have better picture than even the ST60 upcoming wouldn't you think?

I think so too. I've been without a tv for 3 months now since the last 2 leds I returned. I'm definitely set on plasma, and should have bought a 60" gt50 or e7000 3 months ago but kept waiting, and now it actually makes sense to wait but I really dont want to. Panasonic says st60 in 60" won't ship til April though :'( not sure about vt60 but it will probably be out of my budget. Ayyyyyyyeeee

The 2013's aren't a mystery, my personal opinion is that with the upgrades the VT50 will still be better than ST60, As far as we know the st50 will still fall short of a couple specs like the ultra filter and the extra shades of grey
